Alicyn Origin and Meaning

The name Alicyn is a girl's name.

Alicyn is a feminine name that represents a creative spelling variant of Alison or Alyson. The name ultimately derives from the Germanic name Adelaide, meaning "noble kind" or "noble type." This particular spelling emerged in the late 20th century during the trend of creating distinctive orthographic variations of traditional names. While the standard forms Alison and Allison peaked in popularity during the 1970s-1980s, the Alicyn variant offers parents a way to honor the classic name while giving their daughter a more unique identity. The 'y' and 'c' combination gives it a delicate, feminine quality while maintaining the familiar pronunciation.
